| She's a beaut, but that rear tire's shot! I'd venture a guess that the front one's pretty old and hard, too. If we were a little closer I'd invite you over for a tire-spooning party. I'm expecting a new pair from Brown tomorrow. http://www.swmototires.com http://www.tireexpress.com

| Will agree with Clint That you do need new boots and soon I will admit to running the tires to the bone but not that bad, apart from that a very nice ride.

| I remember those. That was when Suzuki started coming out with the L models to compete with HD. The L stood for Low Slinger. I had an 81 GS750E which was one of the first bikes ever to have TSCC 4 valve per cylinder. I loved that old bike.

| oh yeah, didnt mention in the post but it got new tires yesterday. in the pic next to the lake you can kind of see them. i cant stand HD's and i like bikes of all shapes and sizes but i love how an inline 4 runs compared to a vtwin. EDIT: actually, if anything, the left exhaust has a rattle in it and it's welding all along so if anyone knew where i could get a good 4-1 exhaust, not much louder than factory but nice and throaty.
